EP votes to uphold immunity of Hungarian opposition leaders 😔

The European Parliament decided not to lift the parliamentary immunity of Hungarian opposition politicians Péter Magyar and Klára Dobrev, as well as Italian MEP Ilaria Salis, amid ongoing criminal proceedings. The decision reflects concerns about the independence of the judiciary in Hungary and potential political motivations behind the cases. Magyar faces multiple requests for immunity lifting related to allegations of misconduct, while Dobrev is accused of defamation. Salis is suspected of violent actions against far-right supporters. The vote was narrowly passed, highlighting divisions within the EP.
